We are entering our eighth year of business, and the CSA has always been a key piece of who we are and what we do. We believe this partnership is much more than a simple financial obligation; it is a bond that reflects a social and economic philosophy built around good food in our cherished community.
A share costs $200, in return you receive a $225 credit. $200 is an amount we chose as a modest and accessible amount of produce for one person for a season. You can purchase multiple shares if need be. CSA members get access to not only vegetables but bread, milk, eggs, maple syrup, local fruit, mushrooms, seedlings and bulk specials throughout the season on things like blueberries, cucumbers, beans, corn, tomatoes, storage crops, apples, and cider.
CSA members also get first access to our coveted organic pick-your-own strawberries fields. This is a very busy time of year for us, and a key part of our income. CSA members have $50 credit per share for strawberries ($25 for half shares). In other words, you are allowed to deduct $50 worth of strawberries from each share, anything over $50 will be charged separately.
Our debit-style CSA offers the convenience of shopping at our retail store with the benefits of buying produce through a CSA. We simply track your purchases and deduct the purchase amount from your balance.
